pyobjc-framework-AVRouting
Wrappers for the framework AVRouting on macOS
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need programmatic access to audio routing. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses a permissive license, and supports modern Python versions. Install friction is moderate due to macOS-only availability and compiled dependencies, but that is inherent to the use case rather than a package defect.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- macOS 10.9+ required; runs only on macOS, not Linux or Windows
- Medium friction: macOS-only wheels for Python 3.10–3.15, requires pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa.
- Active maintenance with recent releases (3 days old).

What it is and what it does
pyobjc-framework-avrouting is a thin Python wrapper around Apple's AVRouting framework, part of the broader PyObjC project. It allows Python developers on macOS to interact with the native AVRouting APIs for controlling audio routing behavior. The package provides direct bindings to Objective-C classes and methods without adding a separate documentation layer—users must consult Apple's official framework documentation and PyObjC's translation guides to understand how to use the exposed APIs.
The package depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa and is distributed as compiled wheels for Python 3.10 through 3.15 on macOS. It is actively maintained and supports current Python versions, making it suitable for macOS-specific audio applications that need programmatic control over routing.
Use it for
- Control audio input/output routing in macOS desktop applications from Python
- Build audio management tools that interact with system audio devices on macOS
- Integrate AVRouting framework functionality into cross-platform Python apps targeting macOS
